[Multicystic kidney disease in a segment of horseshoe kidney: an uncommon combination of malformations].
Multicystic dysplasia is the most common type of renal cystic disease, and it is one of the most common causes of an abdominal mass in infants. The contralateral system is also frequently abnormal. The most commonly associated anomalies are contralateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction and contralateral vesicoureteral reflux. In a few cases, multicystic dysplasia involves a horseshoe kidney or one pole of a duplex kidney. We present a female patient diagnosed with this condition at 9 years old, when she was being studied due to recurrent abdominal pain. The renal function was normal.
